If you're seeing a "403 Forbidden" status code, the port is open and the status code is coming back at the application level from a web server.

Which leaves you open to attack if the web server has vulnerabilities.

Thanks for confirming. It seems to only work on my local network (ie not on my phone if I disconnect from wifi), so I think all is well. Not entirely sure what shodan was seeing, but I suspect it's IP rotation (I haven't had this IP for too long).
